Rino, I enjoyed your message very much.
Participating in the argument about the body of Jewish law
concerned with religious and non-religious life
(http://www.geocities.com/tadfrompoland/floor23a.html), I already perceived that you had learned the
subject and I applied your composition "An appreciation
of Odysseus" (Art, science, and... my son 3/22/00
12:30 am, TadFromPoland). I also showed the fragments
of the book, which you had used in your composition
[Their ethic and ours (I-II) 3/25/00 2:59-3:00 am,
TadFromPoland]. At that time I emphasized that in the long term,
we observe continual improvement in human behavior
(Charles Darwin). However, in the short term, people
reveal the most anxious possibilities hidden in their
centaur nature (H. G. Wells). For example, Sienkiewicz
trying to propagate in the late nineteenth century
Poland Ivan the Terrible methods modernized by putting
in the double standard that I mentioned in one of my
messages sent to Polish Slavic Club [Some readings of my
childhood (II) 03/02/1999 4:00 PM, TadFromPoland --
http://www.geocities.com/tadfrompoland/floor23a.html ], returned the readers to the stage when
"certain virtues which had to be practiced, were practiced
by rude men almost exclusively in relation to the
men of the same tribe; and their opposites were not
regarded as crimes in relation to the men of other
tribes."
Hence, I'd like to emphasize today that,
fortunately, women aren't able to become a record-breaker. The
record score was made by men nearly monopolizing social
practice in this area; women almost couldn't get a word in
edgewise! When women won equal rights in this area, the
area itself was changed for better by generations of
warriors for the better world.
Your dad
